"You know," Lucian says, "you have a rather, odd, manner," he says, then shakes his head, "come along if you want."

167
"...what she said," Lucian says.

Any day other than saturday.

"Then you'll like the Trickster Series, Alianne, the main character, is Alanna's daughter, though you'll need to read the Wild Magic Quartet and Protector of the Small Quartet first. They come before it. I made the mistake of reading the Trickster Series first, I can actually lend them to you if you'd like. I've read a few of the Piers Anthony books, though I was much younger at the time and don't remember as much as I would like. I never really got into Steven King's books either."

Each action point may be used to attempt one action on the forums between sessions. Action points do not rollover, and are lost if not used. You may only attempt each action once per forum turn, unless it has more than one skill you can roll for it, in which case you must roll a different skill check each time.

Edro, you will have to edit your action a bit.

I already editted my post to use different skills, Kuji made note of it to me a few days ago and hasn't objected to the change I made.

"I did my boot camp training in Britain. Until we came here to the tropics, I had never left the country." She adjusted her hat slightly to get the sun out of her eyes. "I did that at Fort Henry under Sergeant Wallace. A right bastard - pardon my French - but a very good and thorough soldier. He certainly whipped me into shape, and I'm all the better for it." She decided to change the subject slightly, and perhaps get to know Lucian better. "So far all we've really talked about are our jobs and what we can do. Normally I wouldn't mind keeping things on a strictly professional basis such as that, but I have the feeling we're going to be working together on this assignment for quite awhile. So... are there any books you like?" she asked, keeping it simple for now.

"Any book by Tamora Pierce, she's my all time favorite author. She takes the mystical, and turns it into a science, something few authors tend to do, and she uses mainly female main characters with intricate character development. I'd recommend Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen for you in particular, main character is the daughter of a spy master and the king's champion who was sold as a slave, I won't say more than that, but it's a good read. If you want something more magic themed, the Circle of Magic and The Circle Opens Quartets are good, and if you prefer the knight in shining armor one, I'd go with the Protector of the Small quartet," Lucian was obviously an avid fan of books, "I also enjoy the Inheritance Cycle series, I'm in the middle of the last book now, in fact."

(Note, that is a real book and that is my actual opinion)

Will have to get back to you on that, I don't know my work schedule for the week yet.

"Actually, I think it has to do with the way the mind works, rather than how intelligent they are, pokemon often view things very differently from humans, it may also be the way their minds develop," Lucian says, then smiles, "it's nice talking to someone that's not all about the spirit," he says, "most of the people back home were more about faith than science, thought with their hearts rather than with their heads and put a little too much into faith."

"And I trained in Romania," he says in regard to where he was trained, "not exactly the best place to get into this sort of thing, really. I left for Italy after my introductory training and finished my training there. How about you?"

(You'll have to work for that one, Lucian's a little guarded about specifics for his hometown.)

173
"Well, there are similarities between species, but I've never noticed a similarity between types other than with ghost types, though that's probably because I'm more familiar with them than I am with other types," Lucian says, "hm, the best way to put it is to think of a heart meter in a hospital, all ghosts are flatlines while other pokemon have the little 'blips'. The only instance that isn't the case is with synced pokemon, as far as I've noticed the 'blibs' are muted, but not gone," he pauses, "let me try something," he says, letting out his Yanma and Woobat, then channeling them, "hey guys, just checking something really quick," he says, both physically and mentally.

After a moment of just analyzing them, he nods, "there is something there, but it's hard to find. It wouldn't be useful for identifying them without being able to analyze their auras for a while, and it's subtle, easy to miss," he shakes his head, "It could come in handy though, I'll need to look into it," he says, flashing a smile at Susan, "thanks for that, if you hadn't asked I probably would have never noticed that." He turns to the woobat and yanma, he really needed to give them a name, "why don't you two take some time to relax? Just stay nearby okay?"

174
"I get that a lot," Lucian says, "in all honesty, it's actually a sort of psychic link, extending a part of your mind to touch another and anchor it there, not a merging of mind that most people describe it as. It gives you an understanding of the pokemon you're channeling and how they're feeling," he pauses in speaking, "it's like you've known each other your entire life, but only just met at the same time. Every time you channel a pokemon, you seem to find something new, an aspect that you didn't notice before. And it works in reverse to a certain degree, the pokemon gets an understanding of the channeler, it's why I have such a good connection with Guide and Thanatos. It's also why I want to work with the pokemon we get from our missions, with my ability, I'm hoping to be able to turn them into assets for us."

175
Lucian pauses slightly, "I was born with my ability to channel pokemon, I got my ability to see aura much later, I don't know exactly when it happened, it was sort of gradual, so I never really noticed it much," he replies then gives a bit of a grin, "I will say it's what got me this far, I'd probably have been put elsewhere if I didn't have it."

176
"Neither would I," Lucian replies, "it's relaxing to just take a walk, isn't it?"

1. Explore The Fangs (the slums one). Mod is Spirit 7 + Intuition 4 = 11 / 2 = 5.5
2. Explore Swamp with Niko. Mod is Intelligence 5 + Perception 2 = 7 / 2 = 3.5
3. Explore Tropical Sands with Rags. Mod is Power 3 + Athletics 0 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 - 2 = -0.5


Lucian decides to be a bit of an explorer today, going to various areas with or without his fellow agents. He borrows Poison Gas, Ember, and Fly first to help him out. It'd definitely give him some helpful abilities.

(Does the +3 Fly Speed from Fly apply when it's Borrowed?)

178
And I might not be able to make it tomorrow.

179
Thanks Kuji, will go with Warper then

180
Well, if I can't take the Ghost Elementalist and Hex Maniac, I'm probably just going to go Warper
